Orphaned non-free media (File:Burnout Paradise Boxart 2.jpg)

  Thanks for uploading File:Burnout Paradise Boxart 2.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Beyond Good & Evil 2

I reverted you because you reverted my edits. I'm French that means that - by the way - I speak French. And you are lucky because I'm a subscriber of Jeux Vidéo Magazine. I can scan the article if it is needed to prove I'm right (and then you can google trad it). Bilal and Amano are not working on BGE2 even if an english source who don't speak french writes it. FR 09:12, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

I am not an anonymous IP, I am fr:Utilisateur:FR ^^. I am not on WP:en because I work on WP:fr and was just here to check if there was more informations to add to fr:Beyond Good & Evil on which I was working. I saw the error and correct it. As I said, I can scan the Jeux Vidéo Magazine article, upload it on imageshack and you can translate it with Google translate if you want (I can also provide a translation).
The interview was made with Ancel, Bilal and Amano at Monaco. Amano was presenting the game Final Fantasy XIII, Bilal was presenting an adventure game adapted from his most famous comics, Nikopol : la Foire aux immortels (I don't know the english name). The journalist asked questions to a particular person, this person answered and others commented the answer and continued to talk like a conversation. Remember Wikipedia:Assume good faith but if you want to be sure - and I understand it - I can scan the article for you. You can also see that the article author of your source did not translate the french article himself (Now, thanks to the translation services of RockPaperShotgun, there are a few more detail to be harvested from the original article in JeuxVideo. <- I think he talked about the article on JeuxVidéo.fr, no link with the magazine, which is not dealing with Bilal or Amano). Cordially. FR 16:22, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Did not forget you, just have a lot of work and a new OS on my computer with no drivers for my scanner. I think I will scan it tonight. FR 09:34, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
[1], [2], [3], [4]. If you need some translations, I will be happy to help you. Cordially. FR 15:50, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

World in Conflict: Soviet Assault console versions

Howdy, was wondering if you have a source for WiC:SA being canceled on consoles? - TexMurphy (talk) 07:07, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Yup, http://www.idg.se/2.1085/1.208428. I've added it to the article. --MrStalker (talk) 11:27, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
Nice, thanks. I'll keep an eye out for a reference in English too, shouldn't be too long before one pops up. - TexMurphy (talk) 14:14, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Just to let you know...

File:Iris small.png was uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, but I had apparently misunderstood the Ubisoft pseudo-license when I moved it, and the image was deleted at Commons because it is actually nonfree. The license allows user-created screenshots to be public domain, but not images from their website. Weird, I know. So anyway, this image will probably need a fair-use rationale at this point. I just wanted to clarify that if you hadn't already determined what had happened. –Drilnoth (TC) 03:19, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

3RR

Please cease editing The Sims 3 in the manner in which you are as you have now broken the 3RR rule; especially on a topic which has already had a consensus reached. Observe Talk:The Sims 3. If you continue to do so, I will report you to an administrator.ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ talk 20:38, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Go fuck yourself, I'm nowhere near breaking that rule, I've only reverted once FFS! --MrStalker (talk) 22:44, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
I have reported you to the ANB for partaking in 3RR edits and general edit warring. ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ talk 17:07, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Per WP:CIVIL, I've blocked you for 12h William M. Connolley (talk) 17:41, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I'm sorry for overreacting. But still, the fact remains that I was nowhere near breaking 3RR. --MrStalker (talk) 19:41, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
As blocking admin, I'm accepting this as evidence of contrition. I'll remove the block in a moment. As for the reverting: as I said on AN3, I can't immeadiately see a vio. But the reverts should be being discussed on the article talk page William M. Connolley (talk) 19:56, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

The Sims 3

Considering the leaked version of The Sims 3 originally disseminated from "The Scene", specifically the release group, RELOADED; then later followed Trickle Down Theory, making its way to Torrent Trackers and Download sites, how is it that The Scene is not considered a valid distribution medium? ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ talk 00:10, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Can't argue that. ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ talk 00:43, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi there! Just wondering why you reverted my edit about the new release. I'm not sure how a proper (in the scene sense) release warrants a mention in the article - the original leak was a buggy pre-final version (or so EA claims), there's no need to mention that a second version was released - surely this is equivalent to mentioning a crackfix or proper. Thanks! Fin© 18:17, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

I've also reverted your edit as both the reasons you mention in the summary don't apply. Thanks! Fin© 18:18, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
No, EA say the original leak was a buggy pre-final version. That's fine. There's no need to essentially say "but the scene then released one that wasn't buggy or pre-final". The original leak should be mentioned because it was a big deal and EA commented on it. Subsequent releases and patches are not, regardless of their quality. If this weren't the case, then the Wolverine Origins article should mention the workprint of Wolverine was leaked, then there was a cam, then ts, then an r5 line, then a dvdrip. The workprint leak was notable (notable might be the wrong word to use, I don't mean it in the context of policy), the rest are not. In relation to the Sims 3, the first leak was notable, that it was proper'd (for whatever reason) is not and shouldn't be included in the article. Thanks! Fin© 19:54, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
"Relevant" seems to be the word you use where I would use "notable". Feel free to change interchange them in my reply above. Thanks! Fin© 19:57, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Need for Speed: Shift

Hey, sorry I've been absent for a while, and I would like to know why you replaced the cropped version with an uncropped one? Is it a new consensus of the image guideline? Thanks. Megata Sanshiro (talk) 13:28, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
